27David and his men left their homes. They went and they killed 200 Philistines. David brought all their foreskins to Saul. David gave them to Saul so that he could marry the king's daughter. So Saul agreed to let David marry his daughter Michal. 28Saul realized that the Lord was with David. He knew that his daughter Michal loved David. So Saul became even more afraid of David. Saul was David's enemy for the rest of his life. 30The Philistine army continued to march out and attack the Israelites. Every time that they fought, David won more fights than any of Saul's other officers. So David became very famous.
